"Outsource your plumbing, not your bloodstream": That’s the message behind this myth-busting session on why your data - the lifeblood of your firm - can’t simply be handed off to someone else.

72% of firms say they’d consider outsourcing data acquisition and management. But as Neil Vernon (Chief Product Officer @Gresham) puts it, “You can’t give your data problems to someone else.”

This webinar unpacks why keeping ownership in-house isn’t just smart, it’s non-negotiable.

What You’ll Learn 🔍

  • The 72% Shock Stat Why so many firms want to outsource… and what they think they’re solving (spoiler: not the real issue).
  • Outsourcing ≠ Letting Go of Ownership You can outsource tasks, but you can’t outsource responsibility. Learn where firms draw the line—and where they fall off the cliff.
  • The Hidden Risks What gets lost when data leaves your hands? Context, control, governance… sometimes all three.
  • The Hybrid Model That Actually Works How smart firms keep ownership while partnering for speed, scale, and sanity. Think of it as “you still drive the car; we help tune the engine.”
  • Humans Matter More Than You Think The real problem isn’t just tech—it's skills, fluency, and internal confidence.
  • AI Readiness Starts With Data Ownership Why firms that outsource too much hit a wall when trying to operationalize AI.
  • The Blind Spots How outsourcing can mask broken manual steps and outdated workflows—and how to uncover them.

Why Watch? Because the fastest-modernizing firms aren’t the ones that hand everything off - they’re the ones that stay in the driver’s seat while using the right partners to push them forward. This session gives you the frameworks, pitfalls, and real examples of what good actually looks like.
